Stow Historical Society The Stow Historical Society preserves the history of Stow, Ohio, through historic home tours, educational programs and the annual Harvest Festival.

One of the longest-running organizations in Stow, Ohio, the Stow Historical Society was founded by a group of people interested in preserving the history and artifacts of Stow Township. The first meeting of Stow Historical Society was held January 30th, 1950 with 30 charter members. The objective of the society was “to gather and record all historical data pertaining to the development of Stow Township.”

The Stow Historical Society continues to preserve the history of Stow through its historic home tours and collection of significant local artifacts. School tours give every third grader in Stow a chance to learn about the history of Stow and see up close the belongings of Stow’s early settlers. Members enjoy educational programs at seven member meetings a year. An annual picnic is held in August and an installation of officers luncheon in December. The annual fall Harvest Festival is the Society's main fundraiser.
